Chapter 691 Enthronement(1/2)
Before leaving the Ming Palace, Ajiu took Lin Suyin and Ning'er and went directly to Qingqing's room in the backyard.
Then, in the surprised eyes of the three of them, they went directly to the head of the bed in Qingqing's boudoir, twisted a mechanism at the head of the bed, and saw the stone wall on the side of the bed suddenly flipped, revealing a secret room.
"This is..." Qingqing widened her eyes and looked surprised. She had lived in this room for more than half a year, but she never knew that there was such a weirdness in her room.
"Let's go, this mechanism can only be turned on once, and we will lock it after we go in." Ajiu urged without explanation.
Lin Suyin faintly said nothing, and raised her foot and entered.
Qingqing and Ning'er looked at each other and entered immediately.
When the three of them entered, Ajiu pressed down hard on the head of the bed, and with a "creaking" sound, the stone door began to slowly close.
Before the door was closed, Ajiu flashed into the room.
The four of them disappeared quietly after the Ming Palace, and the frame that was docked in front of the Ming Palace was slowly sailing towards the palace city with Lu Xunyi's "departure".
...
The new emperor ascended the throne was originally the time for the whole world to celebrate together.
Mo Bai in the carriage could not hear the noise and could not help but lift the curtain and look outside. He saw only the soldiers in Beijing camp everywhere on the street, and the people were not seen.
"What's going on? Why is the capital so deserted?" Mo Bai asked with a frown.
Lu Xunyi, who drove the car in person, replied after hearing this: "In order to prevent the celebration of someone in the palace, someone in the city caused trouble, so he ordered that idle people be banned from wandering on the streets to avoid causing trouble and hurting the dignity of the country."
"Is it decent to do it so lifeless?" Mo Bai's face was slightly dark. He said he wouldn't do it, but the three of them didn't listen. Now that the scene has started, it's so small-minded, which is really embarrassing.
Lu Xunyi didn't say anything. To be honest, seeing this scene, he couldn't help but sigh. The five hundred years of Daxia had lost even this little confidence. It was really sad to be lonely.
Mo Bai put down the curtain and said nothing more. In this dead silence, the carriage was moving forward.
When I arrived at the palace, I heard a little noise again.
"Your Highness, the carriage can't get through." It was also at this time that the carriage stopped and Lu Xunyi opened the door.
When Mo Bai heard this, he looked out of the car and saw two soldiers standing in front of the car and stopping him. Seeing him coming out, he quickly stepped back and walked back two steps.
Mo Bai nodded and got off the carriage.
Lu Xunyi handed the carriage to the black guard who was accompanying him, and led it to another place by the soldier.
When the soldiers walked away, Mo Bai and Lu Xunyi walked towards the palace gate. Several officials were waiting for inspection at the door and lined up to enter the palace.
"Your Highness!" Seeing Mo Bai's figure coming, several people saluted and made way for the enlightenment.
Among the guards who were guarding, there were also generals who came forward and invited Mo Bai in.
Of course, a search is still necessary.
"Your Highness, the superior has an order. Those who enter the palace today are strictly prohibited from carrying sharp weapons." The guards did not take action, and there were eunuchs waiting on the side to search for these royal relatives.
The eunuch came forward tremblingly, looking at Mo Bai with a little timid look.
Mo Bai didn't make things difficult for him. He first took off a Bingsoft sword from his waist and took out an iron box from his pocket. The iron box contained the silver needle he had been carrying with him.
"It's gone!" He shook his sleeves and signaled that he would not hide anything else.
"Occurs!" The eunuch still came up and patted Mo Bai gently, then bowed and retreated: "Please, your Highness!"
Lu Xunyi came forward with a sword in his hand, but did not hand it over immediately, but asked, "Does the master also hand over the weapon?"
"No matter who enters the palace today, no one is allowed to carry weapons." The soldier nodded and replied.
Lu Xunyi looked at Mo Bai, and Mo Bai nodded, and then he handed the sword to the general.
The soldiers were booked, and Mo Bai's was signed by Lu Xunyi. After completing this procedure, the two of them entered under the guidance of an eunuch.
"No need to search for the people behind?" Mo Bai asked when he saw that the eunuch was the one who had just searched for him.
The eunuch bowed and replied, "The other royal families have arrived."
It turns out that he is the last one, Mo Bai nodded and said no more.
When you enter the palace, the first thing you catch is the imperial guards that extend to every corner of the palace.
Mo Bai and Lu Xunyi looked at each other without saying a word, and headed all the way to the Jin Palace of Political Affairs.
"Your Highness, the auspicious time has not arrived yet, please wait here!" When I arrived at the square in front of the Golden Palace, the eunuch bowed and said, and then quickly retreated.
Mo Bai raised his eyes and glanced ahead, and saw that outside the Golden Palace, there were already people standing there.
Of course, the officials were the most numerous, and hundreds of officials gathered together.
They gathered together in groups of three or three, bowed and greeted each other, or smiled and talked loudly, but the scene was very lively.
Mo Bai didn't see Hu Qingyan, Zhang Bangli, and King De, but he saw a group of people in Taoist robes also among the crowd, surrounded by some court officials and had a great time talking.
These Taoists had sharp eyes. As soon as Mo Bai arrived, they discovered it. They immediately bid farewell to the court officials around them and greeted them from all directions.
As they moved, Mo Bai saw clearly that there were quite a few people coming from the Taoist sect, with fifty or sixty, and all of them were masters with the lowest cultivation level.
"These are all the leaders of the major mountain gates of the Taoist sect stationed in Beijing." Lu Xunyi whispered in Mo Bai's ear.
"Has anyone come?" Mo Bai asked.
"As long as the capital in Beijing comes," Lu Xunyi replied.
Mo Bai nodded with satisfaction. As the two of them whispered, these Taoists had already arrived in front of them and bowed together and said, "I have seen the Ming Wang Zun!"
This movement made many court officials in the field secretly shocked, especially some military generals who came from other places, and local officials looked at this scene with their eyelids twitching.
Many people have only heard of the fact that the Emperor Ming Mansion is in charge of the Taoist sect, and they are doubtful.
What he saw with his own eyes at this moment can be imagined.
The Taoist sect, who dared to compete with the state for many years, really surrendered to the throne of the Ming Dynasty. How could they not be shocked?
In the noisy scene, as the Taoists calmed down, Mo Bai returned the tribute to the Taoists: "Everyone is polite!"
After seeing the ceremony, except for a few people from the Four Gates of the Two Mountains and the Four Sects who came to talk to Mo Bai, the others scattered.
"Have you ever met several heads?" Mo Bai asked at the six people from the Fourth Sect of Ershan.
"I've seen it!" several people nodded.
"What do you guys have to say?" Mo Bai asked again.
"The real person asked our highness to ask our Highness and obey our Highness's arrangements." Grandmaster Chen Shangyun from Yuqing Mountain spoke.
The other five nodded, indicating that the same is true for their own family.
"It's nothing else, just watch the ceremony." Mo Bai smiled and said softly.
When these people heard this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief. They were really afraid that King Ming would let them do something. You must know that this is the palace and the guards are tight, so they dare not do anything here.
After sending a few people, Mo Bai walked all the way to the front of the Golden Palace.
Along the way, all the officials passing by bowed and bowed.
The more you are ranked behind, the lower your ranks are. Mo Bai didn't want to talk too much and came all the way.
But when we came, we saw a few generals in front of us, we learned that the generals sent back from the battlefield to participate in the throne ceremony of His Majesty. Mo Bai became interested and stopped to talk to them.
These people were polite, but they obviously had taboos and did not dare to get too close to Mo Bai in public. After a few perfunctory words, they took advantage of the excuse to leave.
Lu Xunyi kept following him. After witnessing the attitude of the military, he felt uncomfortable and said in Mo Bai's ear: "It's okay for everyone else, but Fang Shuai is like this?"
But Gu Jing Wubo glanced at Lu Xunyi: "You are wrong. Fang Shuai didn't know that Lao Jiu and I have reached such a level. From his perspective, if you don't have close contact with me, you don't want to implicate me and be afraid of your Majesty."
Lu Xunyi, after thinking about it for a while, nodded, but said with a wry smile: "We are not afraid of being implicated now, we are afraid of no one supporting us."
Mo Bai shook his head and didn't say this again. He walked to the front and glanced at the guards around the Golden Palace inadvertently.
"The person at the main entrance is Zhang Wu's people, Xu Shimao's people on the left, and Liu Gongqun's people on the right." Lu Xunyi whispered.
Mo Bai nodded, pondered for a moment, and suddenly glanced at a group of imperial guards walking past outside the Golden Palace.
Lu Xunyi immediately understood: "This is patrolling the palace city and guards. They are not fixed on patrolling and wandering around the palace."
"Whose person?" Mo Bai asked.
"Hu Yu, this person is not the direct lineage of Mo Beichuan." Lu Xunyi said.
Mo Bai's eyes moved and he said softly: "I looked at it. Apart from Zhang Wu, Xu Shimao and Liu Gongqun, the one who had the opportunity to arrive at the Golden Palace as soon as possible is these patrol and wandering imperial guards. Keep a close eye on them. Once there is any difference, immediately let Zhang Wu, Xu Shimao and Liu Gongqun stop him."
"yes!"
"Also, find a way to notify Zhang Bangli and let him stare at Hu Yu. If something happens, he will be taken down immediately and escorted to the imperial front." Mo Bai said again.
As he said that, Mo Bai turned his head and looked at everyone, but he could not see Hu Qingyan, Zhang Bangli and King De.
Chu Ruocai and others were not here, and they were wondering where these people had gone, so they saw movement in the Golden Palace.
Mo Bai raised his head and saw Hu Qingyan and Zhang Bangli coming out of it.
At the same time, King De also appeared. He came out of the side hall. Beside him, Chu Ruocai and several warlords were also coming towards this side.
Hu Qingyan looked at Zhang Bangli and Mo Bai, then looked away and stood in front of the officials.
The same was true for King De. He did not come to greet Mo Bai, and only took Chu Ruocai and others to Hu Qingyan and others and stood still.
But when Chu Ruochu passed by with Mo Bai, he smiled at Mo Bai and nodded to greet him.
